investment dressing

noun

Definitions

  1. The purchase of expensive clothing in the belief that it will last longer.

    • I used to preach "investment dressing." The whole idea was that you buy the best quality you can find, preferably a core wardrobe, and those clothes interchanged would last nearly forever. I don't believe that anymore.
